Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 1522 Approaching Zhang Xu Kingdom’s Capital City (3)

Should.

From this word alone, they all knew that no one was feeling confident enough with the war that was approaching them. But even if they were not confident, what should they do?

They could only grit their teeth and prepare for the inevitable battle in front of them.

Three generals from Fei Yang Kingdom, General Xing, General Jun, Great General Wei, were all approaching close to Zhang Xu Kingdom Capital City.

Battle will be inevitable.

"Send message to Heavenly General Lu." Emperor Zhang Hou Tian's face was black. "Tell him to come and support us here."

"But the border with Fan Yi Kingdom…"

"Call him back."

The officials looked at each other and obeyed.

So far, Heavenly General Lu had been staying at the very north, fighting against Fan Yi Kingdom with all he could. With him staying there, Fan Yi Kingdom failed to take advantage of the situation where Zhang Xu Kingdom was still facing Fei Yang Kingdom.

They lost a lot of soldiers but Fan Yi Kingdom was not in any better condition.

When it was Winter, the situation got better for them and Heavenly General Lu even managed to push back Fan Yi Kingdom.

But now that it was Spring, Heavenly General Lu would be facing more soldiers from Fan Yi Kingdom. Calling him back at this time would be a bit rash and might even result in some unwanted things.

But in the end, they could do nothing.

If their Capital City and their Emperor fell, would there be any Zhang Xu Kingdom's left?

Perhaps the best answer would be no.

…

<Not long distance away, Zhang Xu Kingdom's Capital City>

There were not many people from Zhang Xu Kingdom's Imperial Family who were still alive after Emperor Zhang Hou Tian took the throne. But for the sake of his image, he still didn't kill all of his annoying half-brothers.

They all lived in the smaller palaces, living a rather leisure life without anything to do.

One of them was Zhang Hou Jia, the fourth prince who kept a low key figure. He had heard of his half older brother's deeds and chose to keep a low profile when he saw that Emperor Zhang Hou Tian would get rid of anyone who threaten him.

So far, he lived a 'leisure' life in the palace.

But he still kept his attention to the outside world and naturally knew the dire situation of Zhang Xu Kingdom.

Right now, the officials were already looking like they were going bald because of the situation at the frontline. Not to mention, they also knew that Long Qian Xing and Nan Hua were approaching the Capital City.

The defense was getting stricter.

And even the people in the Capital City, who always believed that war was far away from them, were getting nervous.

They could sense that there will be changes in the Capital City.

But they couldn't do anything except to wait.

The gates were closed and no one was allowed to come out.

"Imperial Brother seems to want everyone to stay and got captured here." Prince Zhang Hou Jia sneered when he heard the report from his trusted aide.

At this time, he knew very well that it would be impossible for him to let his former opponents to go. If they managed to escape from the encirclement one way or another, wasn't this the same as him letting his half brothers step on him?

Emperor Zhang Hou Tian was not so stupid.

If they were going to die, let's all die together.

Prince Zhan Hou Jia could see what his half older brother was thinking but at the same time, he was also a bit ambitious. He wanted to escape and win the battle of the throne one way or another.

But because his half older brother was better, he could only hide himself.

Now that there was a crisis, wasn't this the same as giving him a gateway to find a way for him to escape and then rebuilt Zhang Xu Kingdom?

There were also many soldiers who were loyal to him.

With that in thought, Prince Zhang Hou Jia quickly ordered his men to open the gate one way or another and slipped him into the army. As long as he dressed as a normal soldier, no one would know that he's actually the prince of Zhang Xu Kingdom.

And there were also many other half brothers left who were still alive.

Those who didn't have much power and didn't pose any threat were left behind by Prince Zhang Hou Tian to preserve his good name. After all, the reputation of killing his own half brothers were not good.

He could end up being called a tyrant.

For Emperor Zhang Hou Tian, such a reputation should be given to others who wanted it and not to him who didn't want it.

Thus, some of his half brothers were still alive.

In the chaotic time, the soldiers were getting prepared to intercept Fei Yang Kingdom's soldiers.

After all, if they could change the place of battle to somewhere outside the Capital City, they would also want it.

Rather than forcing themselves to fight in this place and tarnish the location, it would be better to pick somewhere else.

The valley between Zhang Xu Kingdom's Capital City and Fei Yang Kingdom's soldiers led by Long Qian Xing was good enough.

Thus, the gate was opened.

But only soldiers came out.

Emperor Zhan Hou Tian watched the soldiers' procession from the distance, his expression was dark. He hoped that Heavenly General Lu could come as fast as possible so that he could defeat Fei Yang Kingdom out of their territory.

Being beaten up so badly all these time had caused him to feel immense annoyance.

"Let's go back." Emperor Zhang Hou Tian flicked his sleeve and turned around.

Prime Minister Tan followed Emperor Zhang Hou Tian along with the other officials, lowering their head and not daring to speak.

They knew that Emperor Zhang Hou Tian was annoyed.
